Jane Austen & Co. is a free public web series focused on the life, histories, material culture, and novelists living in the transatlantic eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. All of our programs are free and open to the public!
Each series includes a diverse array of lectures, Q&As, and digital programming. Our mission is to bring engaging and informative humanities programming to audiences both within our local Triangle Region of North Carolina and far, far beyond. Since Summer 2020, and with the help of a variety of public humanities grants, Jane Austen & Co. has offered biennial series of online webinars and discussions. They are recorded live with participant questions and answers, and afterwards available for free on our website.
